Contract

My daily Affirmation will be: I believe in myself....I believe in myself

I am hereby committing to a life of being active and demonstrating self control when it comes to my eating and lifestyle. Here are my signed commitments.

1. I will not indulge in ANY alcoholic beverages during the first two weeks of my restart program, Monday May 21st, 2012 regardless of the nature of any temptation.

2. I will also consistently terminate the consumption of any and ALL foods after my final meal (dinner), then drink only green tea or decaf coffee along with any remaining water need to complete my (5) 20oz glasses of water a day.

3. I will be held accountable and conscious of my foods choices along with their nutritional value and take my vitamins every morning.

4. I will eat only when hungry and eat only until sufficiently satisfied (NOT until over full).

5. I will continue with my training program at golds gym and add a gym class before this months end May 2012. I will DO at least 30 minutes of cardio 3x weekly, plus weight toning exercises at least 3 times per week.

6. I WILL keep a record of those minutes in my fitness log along.

I realize that this contract is solely with myself. This contract carries no rewards, penalties or punishments other than those associated with the reflection of the strength of my character. Losing weight will be reward enough, along with inspiring others to do the same.

I commit to this, No Matter What!!!, until May 30th. I will then, re-commit every two weeks until Iíve reached the maintenance portion of my plan. The new lifestyle changes will bring me into a new world. One I have made for myself filled with healthy habits.

Thank you so much Jan for your commitment first to YOU and then to us as a team. Together, we can reach our goals and even surpass them. I always try to remember, this is not ALL about weight loss, but what we learn about ourselves along the way. Like you said in your EXCELLENT contract, this contract is solely with myself. This contract carries no rewards, penalties or punishments other than those associated with the reflection of the strength of my character. I LOVE THAT. Thank you. I want to steal that from you! HA HA!!! Here we go, girl...we are on our way to a better life. I truly Love you!

Thanks Michelle. I'm counting on it.I've already laminated and posted my affirmation around the house...."I Believe in Myself." It has to get me through the next few days and the week to come. Woo Hoo!

Although a good portion of this contract was from the Oprah site I've changed it to make it fit to my lifestyle and the changes I intend for myself. I'm sure Oprah won't care, as long as it helps us in the same weight loss battles she struggles with. God save the queen...OPRAH!!!
